Abstract: A modular and scalable system configured to generate a topology platform for training, entertainment, gaming, living, working, acting, viewing, etc. The platform can have a plurality of movable columns that are extendable and retractable. In some embodiments, some of the columns can be retracted to allow users to walk on the columns while other columns can be extended to form a barrier (e.g., wall) or form an inanimate object (e.g., table). The system may be used in furniture to provide topologies for highly customized support structure designs to accommodate varying body shapes, sizes, and individual comfort levels. The system may be used to generate topologies for greenscreen film stages to provide post-production editing, compositing with actors, stuntmen, and video, etc. The platform can be configurable and re-configurable to change the objects and features of the topology and represent different or dynamic environments at any time.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically adjusting a workspace comprising a plurality of nodes for sustained workflow. One method comprises receiving a new node in the workspace and determining that the new node overlaps with one or more nodes. Based on the determination, a set of nodes within a predetermined distance of the overlap may be repositioned, the set of nodes comprising the new node and the one or more nodes. Upon determining that the new node still overlaps with the one or more nodes, the set of nodes may be scaled down until there is no overlap.

Abstract: Unavoidable physical phenomena, such as an alpha particle strikes, can cause soft errors in integrated circuits. Materials that emit alpha particles are ubiquitous, and higher energy cosmic particles penetrate the atmosphere and also cause soft errors. Some soft errors have no consequence, but others can cause an integrated circuit to malfunction. In some applications (e.g. driverless cars), proper operation of integrated circuits is critical to human life and safety. To minimize or eliminate the likelihood of a soft error becoming a serious malfunction, detailed assessment of individual potential soft errors and subsequent processor behavior is necessary. Embodiments of the present disclosure facilitate emulating a plurality of different, specific soft errors. Resilience may be assessed over the plurality of soft errors and application code may be advantageously engineered to improve resilience.

Abstract: Many software applications include collaborative tools. However, such collaboration tools are more complex in graphics applications, than within word processing for example, as the application includes a diverse portfolio of drawing functions to create/edit an object where editing selecting the drawing function and/or amending a parameter may require navigating multiple levels of menus and displays. A reviewer, collaborator etc. may be unfamiliar with the graphics application to make any amendments whilst the user receiving collaborator comments may be unfamiliar with how to implement suggested amendments. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide collaborators with a tool supporting natural language input that parses the collaborators natural language, identifies an associated drawing function, and provides the drawing function which may parameters to edit.
